International Friendlies: Belgium vs Costa Rica, 5 Talking Points

#1 Goalkeeping

Navas denied an early chance for Lukaku

Belgium has a decent goalkeeping triplet, with the Chelsea Keeper, Thibaut Courtois starting it in the playing 11 for every post club season friendly fixture. He denied a lot of chances in the goalless draw against Portugal but wasn't tested to best of his abilities in the fixtures against Egypt and Costa Rica.

Costa Rica has their goal protected alright with the star Madrid Keeper, Keylor Navas in front of it. Navas is without a doubt, one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment. His agility and quick-reacting potential definitely make it harder for the opposition to make it through.

But again, saves don't win matches, goals do. Navas can very well protect the Costa Rican side from conceding goals, that too, with an added effort of the defense, but it is the players in front that need to convert chances into goals.
